Goodly Number Failed to Secure Fa vorable Action. ^L Paul, April 20.—As the closing hours of the legislature approach, the business accumulates, and it is evident that bills by the score will be lost, to which there is no particular objection, merely for lack of time to reach them.

Find joy in what you do The happiness of others Is laid in trust on you! O worker! see the beauty You're building to the skies Along the path of duty You're nearing Paradise!

The Turkish infantry, he says, carries a firearm decidedly superior to that oi the Greek soldier. THE period longed for by the advo cates of peace, when swords are to be beaten into plowshares and spears mto pruning hooks, does not seem to have arrived in these closiug hours of the nineteenth century.
